Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics research. Consisting of four main experiments, the circular ...

Researchers have mathematically derived the fundamental limit of heat current flowing into a quantum system comprising numerous quantum mechanical particles in relation to the particle count. Further, ...

Particle accelerators smash tiny particles together to reveal the universe's building blocks. These machines have grown dramatically in size and power over time, leading to major discoveries. The ...

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Particle accelerators produce and accelerate beams of charged particles, such as electrons, protons and ions, of atomic and sub-atomic size. They are used not only in fundamental research for an ...
